Working Principle

The MTSW-108-12-F-T-110-RA from the Rectangular Connectors – Headers, Male Pins series is an electronic component designed to securely connect wires to boards or other components. It is a two-part connector that has a male component and a female component, which interlock to hold wires securely in place. The male pin is inserted into a female housing that is mounted to a circuit board. To ensure a secure connection, the pin must be fully inserted into the female housing.

Once the pin is inserted into the female housing, it is secured in place. To ensure a reliable connection, the pins and housings are often plated with gold, silver, or other conductive materials. The pins can also be polarized to prohibit accidental connections and ensure the right polarity. Additionally, the pins may have locking mechanisms such as screws or latches to ensure the connection is secure and reliable.

The MTSW-108-12-F-T-110-RA is a versatile component as it is suitable for a variety of applications, including medical and telecom equipment. It is also widely used in lighting applications due to its small size and reliable connections.
